Well Mark, you found me out. Little Bob send me the same message and I told him I only realised we had done him before when I re-checked my files. I did not want to say anything to save the embarrasment. Little Bob was going to keep my secret but now, then, mark ols son, the whole world knows I messed up. Seriously though Mark, it was a super piece of sleuthing, thank you kindly all the same.

It was worth a try George, but the reply is 'His pension confirms ‘Brain’ but there is no indication that it was due to or aggravated by service (the required evidence). With this type of illness (and cancers), it is very unlikely to have been due to service but could have been aggravated by it. Sadly, there is no mention of that being the case so he cannot progress.'

I did not ask about the Asthenia, maybe at a later time.

Kind regards.

Tom.

I thought the discharged with disease of brain might do the trick. I said that I thought there was a bit of leeway with the naval lads, but no, the latest pension cards tighten up the lot. -' There was but the new pension records are providing the required due to/aggravated by evidence. In any case, the leeway was for illnesses which were almost certain to be service related – TB, nephritis, VDH etc.'
